Then I heard Han Jingjing's mother continue: "My name is Han Feiyan, and at the age of 13, I was kidnapped by human traffickers to this place!"

  "What the...? Were you kidnapped?" Hearing what Jianjian's mother said, I almost dropped my jaw.

  "Yes, I was kidnapped and brought to this place. There were over a dozen others who were also kidnapped and brought here with me, all of us around 13 or 14 years old. At that time, Magou Village was just a desolate mountain valley. After we were kidnapped and brought here, we were infected by some strange insects that the witch had gotten from who-knows-where, saying she had implanted 'gu' in us. From then on, we all had to listen to her, or else she would control the gu poison inside our bodies, making it act up. As for what happened after the gu poison acted up, that was our own problem. Because of this, a few girls who came with me refused to obey, and were tortured to death by the gu poison implanted in their bodies. Before they died, they wailed in agony for three days and three nights, those mournful cries scared us so much we didn't dare close our eyes for three days and three nights!"

  "What the fuck! Is this for real? How can it be so powerful? What's the story behind that witch?" I asked back.

  "The witch said she was a shaman from Miaojiang, and that she had come to build the village of Magu under the orders of some deity. She also said that we were chosen by the gods as sacred girls." said Han Jingjing's mother to me.

  "What sorcery, what gods? It's all nonsense!" I snorted. Then I asked again: "Huh? I heard you say your name is Han Feiyan? Your daughter is named Han Jingjing, and she has the same surname as you?"

  "That's for sure, our village is a matriarchal village, and children naturally take their mother's surname."

  "What did you do after being brought here? Just for the sake of marriage? To entertain men? I don't believe that Auntie Witch brought you here just for this, there must be something fishy going on?" I asked again.

  Seeing me ask this, Han Feiyan smiled and said: "That's right, after we agreed to listen to my mother-in-law's orders, the witch planted a love poison curse on us, saying it was used to control men."

  "Oh, the Love Poison Blood Curse? You mentioned it last time when your daughter was drunk and told me about it."

  "Oh? You knew all along? It seems you've known there's something wrong with this village for a while now?" Hearing me say that, Han Feiyan couldn't help but take an extra two glances at me.

  "Of course, I didn't believe that something so good could exist under the sky. We outsiders, would women just let us have our way? Where's such a great deal? I've always believed there's no free lunch in this world, so from the moment I knew about the 'walk marriage' in the village, my mind was filled with doubts. But as night fell, as a man, I couldn't resist temptation and finally fell... Hehe..." I got to this point, and I couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile.

  Follow me and ask Han Feiyan: "Don't talk about these useless things, what is the emotional poison curse in your blood? How did it form?"

  When I asked this, Han Feiyan replied seriously: "I don't know the specifics either. All I saw was that when the witch took us to plant the Blood Curse, she first made us cut our fingers and put blood in a container, then added some poisonous things like snake venom and ant venom, letting them fight each other for half a month before taking out the last remaining poison. Then she brought 48 kinds of herbs, ground them into powder, mixed it with my blood to feed the poison in the container for a month. When you open the lid, you'll find that the poison has a round belly full of my fresh blood and herb powder. Then she squeezed out the liquid from its body and injected it into our veins using a syringe, which became the so-called Emotional Blood Curse!"

  "My god! How can it sound so annoying!" Hearing Han Feiyan say that made me feel uncomfortable all over.

  Without heeding my interruption, Han Feiyan continued: "Any man who has drunk our blood will forever remember us in his heart. As long as we think of this man and want him to return to our side, the man's heart will be extremely distressed, like being gnawed by ants. Only when he sees us can the pain be alleviated and normalcy restored."

  "Oh! No wonder Zhang Qi said that drinking a woman's blood is not possible, and also said something about being unable to escape. No wonder Du Jie ran out of the village and then suddenly wanted to hook up with that chick again, turns out this blood curse is so poisonous!"

  After sighing for a while, I asked again: "What exactly are you going to do with the blood curse you've planted on us? There must be some purpose behind it?"

  "Be a slave!" Han Feiyan's answer was very simple.

  "What is Tan Nu?" I asked.

  "I don't know about this either, only the witch knows best. She told us that Tan Nu is a slave of our women, and with powerful Tan Nu, we can sweep away all dangers and become our most loyal slaves."

  "What's going on with that slave?" At this moment, I felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and also more and more eerie and terrifying.

  "Didn't you see the dead person in Tingting's jar before? What we're going to do is have that kind of thing with you, and then feed you our blood. When you finally run out of yang energy and can't do that kind of thing anymore, we'll choose to raise you in a jar. Or it can be said that we suffocate you in the jar!"

  "What? Suffocated... suffocated to death in a jar?" I was shocked.

  "That's right, after you've lost the energy to do things for us, we'll put you in a jar and seal it with mud, suffocating you to death. Three days later, we'll open the jar and add some herbs that the witch gave us every day, these herbs are used to keep the corpse from rotting while soaking in medicinal water, and can still maintain a normal human shape. At night, we'll move the jars with you inside to the wooden platform on the attic, and when it gets light, we'll bring them back into the house, hiding them in a damp and dark place. After half a year of this, the witch will take away the jars like that, and what happens next is none of our business."

  "What the f**k is this plane?! Suffocating us, then keeping us in a jar, and taking us away after half a year? Is she a pervert?! Torturing us dead men in every way?! What's her problem with men?! Did that man tear her apart down there?! F**king hell!" I couldn't help but burst out a curse.

  As I started scolding, Han Feiyan just smiled bitterly and continued to tell me: "Under the control of the witch, many women in the village have no choice but to do this. Within two years, they must help him complete a quota of one slave, and if they succeed, it will be considered a great achievement and they will receive the blessing of the gods. Over time, they have gone from being forced to doing it out of habit, and even started to think that it is something that will truly receive the blessing of the gods. If some women are lucky enough to get pregnant and give birth, it will also be considered a great achievement. However, if they give birth to a boy, for us, it's simply a terrible nightmare!"

  "What's so scary about giving birth to a boy? Oh! It is quite scary, your daughter mentioned it to me before, the boys born are taken out of the village and sold for money, causing mother and child to be separated, there's nothing more painful than this in the world." Hearing Han Feiyan say this, I recalled what Han Jingjing told me before, and responded with a self-righteous tone.

  Seeing me answer like this, Han Jingjing shook her head and said: "It's a nightmare! It's not as simple as you think. My daughter didn't tell you the truth. In fact, after giving birth to a boy..."

  "What if it's a boy?" I asked further.

  "After giving birth to a boy, once the boy is three months old, he must be sealed in a jar and left to die, just like what you men do!"

  ......

  "What the...! No way!" Hearing Han Feiyan say that, I was truly frightened. Following that, I quickly thought of those two jars in Tingting's house, one of which I remembered was indeed a baby!

  Isn't it said that this child is Tingting's son? This is too bloody and too cruel, right?

  Thinking that the dead baby might be Tingting's son, I was so scared that my hair stood on end, my bladder swelled up, and I felt like I almost peed myself.

  After Han Feiyan finished saying these words, she suddenly changed the subject and asked me: "Do you know why I'm telling you so many things tonight that you shouldn't know?"

  "For... why?" I felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit off.

  "Because... you're a dead man!!!!!"
